In Transition

We are getting new spiffy URL's for the blog which will be http://www.brassandivory.org/ for the main Brass and Ivory and http://www.msbloggers.com/ for the Carnival of MS Bloggers.

The transfer is in transition and you might not be able to get to the blog directly from this post if you are reading in a feedreader. Manually change the ".org" to ".blogspot.com" and it will work for Brass and Ivory. Likewise, make a similar change for the Carnival to go to the old address.

Soon this won't be a problem I hope. However, I do notice that I've lost my "followers" on the sidebar. I'm not sure how to fix that at the moment, and maybe it will fix itself when the transition is complete. I don't know.

Please stay tuned and I hope to see you on the other side. Thanks for reading!!

- Abel Pharmboy, Terra Sigillata

"Some people are brave, some strong, and sometimes they write well, too. You might consider this interesting blogger who posts on the hows and whens of telling other people about not-so-obvious physical problems. I'd say it would take trust to do that, and guts. Check this one out at Brass and Ivory. Excellent, excellent post."- TherapyDoc, Everyone Needs Therapy

"I have come to grow very fond of Lisa. She is very passionate about the topics she writes about and is not afraid to voice her opinion. This is one tough lady I am telling you...and Lisa has a kick butt list of all the MS blogs you never knew existed until now. Her site is full of information and support. So do go visit. You will be glad you did." - unnamed
